Weekend Update ft. James Austin Johnson and Heidi Gardner - SNL

[@cloudbullets]

That “What Did They Even Do Wrong?” was Colin’s joke for Che…finally got him 😂

[@lrrowley]

Haha I was thinking the same thing! Finally got him.

[@Southernblonde1310]

"They're doctors....BUT MY SON..." got me. 😂

[@armandoucles5346]

Holy shit!!! I know so many moms like Gina Bianchi. They treat their sons like kings and their daughters like shit.

[@Metaphoreign]

They need to do the counterpoint of the Italian dad who treats his daughter like a princess

[@floridagirl1269]

I dated a guy with a mom like that. I got sick to my stomach when I would see them together. 🤢

[@RHCole]

I love that Colin and Michael are just trying to see who can get the other cancelled the hardest 😆

[@LindaC616]

Lol, someone tried to say "this isn't joke swap" 😄😄 The half million who were paying attention said "of course it is!"

[@doneisenbarth]

I get annoyed with comedians you say you can’t tell offensive jokes anymore because they give themselves away that they’re not watching it because update

[@jackinblack19]

They you for explaining the exact concept of the show

[@kasperrator4153]

The only reason they have these 2 together is so you don’t realize how racist SNL is. Fail! We already know!

[@jcoopes5604]

All in love and friendship!

[@ericpmoss]

Colin needs his own segment called “You’re Going to Get Me Killed”.

[@batgurrl]

Thanks for continuing to post Weekend Update in it’s entirety on Monday mornings - funniest segment in SNL - the hilarity flows more easily like this ❤️

[@DannyBPlays]

They've been doing this about 2 years now and people are still commenting about them putting them all together? Jesus they don't do it so you can keep thanking them

[@batgurrl]

@@DannyBPlays you sound bitter. What difference does my comment or anyone else’s make to you. They could actually stop doing it anytime they like , so you never know.

[@seemev2.0phuckbootube78]

Sadly, this is the best part of SNL. The skits have been pretty weak past few years. Nothing like the older SNL. Even the early 2000s was way funnier.

[@JRMagro]

Thanks for making the same stolen comment since the first time they posted update in full 🙄

[@JRMagro]

​@@batgurrl the problem is taking a top comment that's been made hundreds of times at this point and posting it, not because you actually mean it, but because you know its a proven method of getting top comments. Its more sad than wholesome tbh. Let's be real.

[@ZenMobius]

No, they just laugh at each other constantly to make themselves seem funny, and make you think so too.

[@luthersaldana]

Can we just replace SNL with a 90 minute Weekend Update?

[@PlatinumHustle]

It would get played out too fast lol only so many news topics you can talk about every week 😅

[@SteveS86]

The reason it's good is because it's brief.

[@carneasuhdude6823]

Bill Walton is like the ultimate pot head lol

[@simonmellor220]

- He was in "The Grilled Cheese Bros.", an episode of American Dad; playing himself, as he is famously a fan of the band Phish. Hence the shirt and the pothead vibe.

[@corvus2512]

That last clip is so true, that encapsulates my uncle and grandmother perfectly! My mom and aunt are both successful women with great careers, my mom raised me, a son, by herself while building that career, meanwhile my uncle holds down the same job for more than a year and it’s like he cured cancer to my grandmother. Nothing my aunt, mom or myself do can be remarked upon without my grandmother chiming in with some mediocre thing he did.

[@CorynthianLeather]

You know a duo is funny when they're both clever as hell, and are funny enough to make the other team laugh 😂

The Bill Walton segment was pure gold! Crowd was subdued. Audience is made of artsy-fartsy NYers who don't watch sports? Rich NYers who can't be bothered with sports? I was in tears!

[@TeksonikAudio]

They were subdued because the segment wasn't funny at all. The crowd gave a few courtesy laughs but really the segment was horrible and I do watch a lot of sports. I don't know if he wrote this sketch himself or if interns are doing the writing now but he should stick to his imitation of Trump which is spot on and even occasionally funny.

Anybody else notice how both Che and Jost seem to be caught off-guard with each other's jokes, as if they're hearing it for the first time? Reason I bring this up is that this spontaneity was a big reason why their "joke swaps" was so popular, wonder if they scrapped that and they're just going with these blindside jokes all the time now instead. If so, I wish they would just come out and say there will be no more "joke swaps".
